In the spirit of The Last Lecture, The Secret, and The Alchemist,
this small book presents BIG ideas for turning your "one day" into
today, including the generational transfer of a dream and a
powerful blueprint for a masterpiece life--from the author of the
New York Times bestselling memoir and major motion picture The
Pursuit of Happyness. On a winter's day, Chris Gardner set off with
his nine-year-old granddaughter Brooke to find the harmonica of her
dreams. The search sends them North "beyond the wall" into a
foreboding Chicago neighborhood and, soon, on a harrowing adventure
that will change both of their lives--and ours. Chris is still
mourning the loss of his girlfriend to brain cancer. Her question
haunts him: "Now that we know how short life can be, what will you
do with the time you have left?" After five years, he feels an
urgency--what he calls, "Atomic Time" in which every second
counts--to find an answer, but is stuck. Even while giving Brooke
permission to aspire to one day become President of the United
States, he knows it's time to reclaim his own permission to dream.
Lost, Chris and his granddaughter board a bus, reminding him of
earlier rides through dark times when dreams of a better life kept
him alive. As the two wind through a changing cityscape, Chris
reflects on past lessons that offer powerful guidance for dreaming
your way to monumental success. At its heart, this book lays out a
blueprint for building a dream-come-true life--even during
uncertainty. Gardner delivers the secrets to achieving a prosperous
career--from a method for identifying your ultimate dream to a
playbook for becoming world class at it. His tools include the "new
3 R's"--or the Rep, the Rap and the Rolodex--which reveal how to
earn a stellar reputation, develop a rap for marketing yourself,
and amass a Rolodex of rewarding relationships. No matter how much
wealth you achieve, Chris notes, true success comes from enriching
the lives of others--so all can still have access to the American
Dream. Toward the end, Brooke observes that in Atomic Time it's
never too late for anyone to reinvent themselves and change their
fortune. Chris, hearing her, realizes what his next pursuit will
be--to go back to high school and give permission to dream to the
next generation of problem solvers and change makers. A true fable,
Permission to Dream is a timeless and timely manifesto for turning
dreams into action--beginning right now.
A collection from 24 Countries . . . over 135 Dreams That Came
True
This dream collection, mundane to dramatic, has been woven
together one dream flowing to the next. Each chapter's introduction
gives additional depth to this fascinating phenomena. That of the
dream world.
From Ernil Bernil's dream of a major archaeological find, to
Neil Armstrong's dream of floating in space. From Peter's dream of
Organic Gardening, to Lee Iacocca's dream of the Chrysler car. From
Sophia's dream of the gas leak that saved her Mother's life, to
Valerie's dream of the 9/11 disaster. All of these dreamers have
one thing in common. Their Dreams Came True.
"You will never believe it," they will say. "I dreamt that and
it came true as I dreamt it would." People from around the world
are saying just that.

Be the master of your fear and you can rule over your life.
Fear is the only obstacle between you and your dreams, between
you and what you most love. So says Archangel Raphael, who, in this
series of channelings, unravels the mysteries of fear and, through
its darkest paths, guides you step by step up to the glade of love.
He helps you tear away fear's masks one by one till you come to
know its real face; only then does he teach you the ways to
transmute it into love, thus eliminating its disastrous
implications.
According to Archangel Raphael, fear shows that somewhere in the
deepest part of your being, you have chosen "hatred "versus "love,"
and your life cannot have real meaning. Only when your fear is
transformed can real life happen to you. The end of your fear will
signal the beginning of your life. Until that day comes, you will
have just lived in a lie, in an illusion.
"I am only asking you to give me your fear," Archangel Raphael
adds, "and I will give back to you your love, the most precious
gift you ever had."

He was born in the city of Pachuca in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico.
He completed his basic and intermediary studies in the same city.
Subsequently, he graduated as an oiling engineer from the National
Autonomous University of Mexico. He practices this profession for
20 years, of which the last 15 he spends working in the maritime
platforms of PEMEX, located in the Gulf of Mexico, in the south
east part of the country. During his off time, he lives in the
state of Jalisco with his wife. The narrative of this book is the
succinct of a painful fight, through the course of 20 years of the
life of the author, who faced severe depression. However, he is
able to analyze, identify, and control the thoughts coupled to his
suffering, thanks to the support that the philosophy of Plato
offers, and not without the adequate prescription medication. In
such way he exposes, classifies and reveals the thoughts that
propitiate the obsessive ideas, in order to finally explain how it
is possible to suppress them. It does not pretend to reach the
precision of the syllogisms, nor the universal truth of what is
exposed without having to submit it through scientific scrutiny;
first, verifying it with the number of sufficient cases, and
confronting it with others that are enunciated and observations
that fail to dismiss it, or confirm its certainty.
